Elder Shan from within the stronghold directly charged out with an explosive attack, making it clear to Jun Changxiao that their side would not compromise.
Very tough.
Very much befitting a first-tier plane’s style.
However, Jun Changxiao wasn’t a pushover either.
Since your Vast Continent welcomes me in this manner, then I can only reciprocate—it would be impolite not to!
Having just broken through to Martial Saint Great Perfection, he also unleashed an explosive attack, directly making the other party fly back the way they came, nearly falling to the ground.
Elder Shan was shocked!
He was at least at Heaven-rank level, yet he couldn’t withstand that guy’s single punch!
A few hours ago, he could have withstood it, because at that time Jun Changxiao was merely at peak Martial Saint.
Now?
Forget one Heaven-rank expert—even two or three more combined might not be able to withstand him, because Jun Changxiao, whose realm had advanced, was absolutely invincible within the same level.
This was extremely domineering!
The Rose Empress said in surprise, “Husband seems to have gotten stronger again. Could it be related to being bald?”
“Whether I’m strong or not has nothing to do with being bald!” Jun Changxiao roared.
The Rose Empress smiled, “The more you explain, the more you’re covering up.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao suppressed his anger, turned to look at Vast Continent’s stronghold, and roared furiously, “I, Jun Changxiao, demand payment immediately!”
Since the other party welcomed him in this manner, they definitely weren’t following procedures!
Keep it simple!
“Jun Changxiao!”
Elder Shan, suppressing his damaged meridians, said gravely, “Why should our Vast Continent give you money!”
Jun Changxiao covered his face and laughed.
Please, you’re at least a Heaven-rank expert—how could you ask such a foolish question?
“Because he’s my husband,” the Rose Empress said.
“…”
Jun Changxiao really wanted to transform into Roaring Emperor again.
But he still forcefully suppressed it. After all, using this reason to demand money was flawless.
Gou Sheng had changed.
For money, he actually…
Wait, he’d been this way from the very beginning, hadn’t he?
“Old fellow, let me ask you—what right did your Vast Continent have to attack Soul Clan Continent?” Jun Changxiao asked.
“…”
Elder Shan fell silent.
He knew that if he said it was to help other planes, he’d definitely be torn apart by the other party until he had nothing to say.
“In a world where the strong prey on the weak, you actually ask me ‘what right’—what an enormous joke,” Jun Changxiao mocked mercilessly.
Indeed.
In a world that revered martial prowess, one didn’t need to explain “what right” for anything.
If an excuse was needed, then it was: Because I feel like it!
“Sect Master Jun.”
Jia Haojie walked out from the great hall and bowed, “Our Vast Continent didn’t know you and the Rose Empress were husband and wife. We’ve offended you greatly before—please forgive us.”
Giving money was impossible, but resolving the conflict was acceptable.
Moreover, the several Heaven-rank experts he’d sent hadn’t actually harmed his woman, so coming to their door to extort money was excessive.
Jun Changxiao waved his hand, “Come out here. Let me slap you once, I’ll say ‘forgiven,’ and our grievances will be cleared.”
“…”
Jia Haojie’s face darkened.
He was Vast Continent’s acting stronghold master. Getting slapped by him would be equivalent to having his dignity trampled!
“Hmph.”
Elder Shan sneered, “Sect Master Jun, we’ve already apologized. If you won’t accept it and insist on extortion, then just keep standing outside.”
After being punched back with multiple damaged meridians, he had absolutely no courage to go out and face that guy again.
“What’s this?”
Jun Changxiao touched his nose and smiled, “From your tone, are you relying on the stronghold’s protection to be so bold?”
“What else?”
Elder Shan sneered coldly, “Can you actually break in?”
“Oh, right.”
“Your Stellar Fall Continent stronghold was sealed, replaced by Soul Clan Continent. You’ve already lost the qualification to declare war on other planes.”
No wonder they dared to stand firm against Jun Changxiao to the end.
If Stellar Fall Continent’s stronghold hadn’t been sealed by the Upper Realm and still had the qualification to declare war on other planes, he and Jia Haojie would definitely have to think carefully and follow their hearts.
“Replaced by Soul Clan Continent?”
The Rose Empress muttered, then suddenly realized, “The damn plane that violated the rules—could it have been your Stellar Fall Continent?”
Jun Changxiao shrugged, “I never expected that the unlucky plane replacing my Stellar Fall Continent would be your Soul Clan Continent.”
“…”
The Rose Empress nearly couldn’t resist rushing over to yank off his wig.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao waved his hand to summon a chair, then sat down and crossed his legs, saying, “I’ll give you a count of ten. If you can’t produce ten million spirit stones, don’t blame this seat for being ruthless.”
“Ten million spirit stones?”
The cold smile on Elder Shan’s face grew even thicker.
If not for his status, he probably would have said directly: “You’re dreaming!”
“One.”
Jun Changxiao called out once.
Jia Haojie and Elder Shan crossed their arms with cold smiles, looking like ‘we’re standing inside the stronghold—come hit us if you can.’
“Two.”
“Three.”
With each number Jun Changxiao called out, his tone became more solemn, his eyes gradually becoming emotionless.
“Ten!”
Suddenly, this guy skipped all the others and went straight to the last number. Then he vanished from the chair and appeared before Vast Continent’s stronghold barrier, suddenly raising his fist, gathering explosive air currents to blast forward.
At that moment.
Jun Changxiao was extremely serious!
Whenever this expression appeared, it meant he was being earnest!
“Naive!”
“Overestimating yourself!”
The smiles on Jia Haojie and Elder Shan’s faces grew even thicker.
They didn’t deny that Jun Changxiao was strong, but using his fist to bombard the stronghold was truly overestimating himself and underestimating the defensive barrier set up by the Upper Realm.
The Rose Empress also frowned, “Has husband gone mad again?”
The defensive barrier existing around the stronghold was even stronger than a plane’s deep-level space. Even Void-Breaking level experts couldn’t shake it, yet he dared to bombard it with his fist!
If he suffered backlash…
“If he’s crippled, I’ll take care of him,” the Rose Empress thought.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Air currents erupted, powerful beyond measure!
However, just as all the special effects were turned to maximum, Jun Changxiao’s right fist suddenly stopped short. Out of nowhere, he opened his palm, and miniaturized Cuihua opened her mouth to bite at the stronghold barrier.
Production team: “Fuck, pay me back for the budget!”
“Crack, crack, crack!”
“Crack, crack, crack, crack!”
The summoned Cuihua gnawed at Vast Continent’s stronghold barrier and soon bit out a large gap.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao raised his hand, pointing his finger at it.
With just a light touch, the defensive barrier surrounding the stronghold crumbled like it was thinner than paper.
Once Cuihua bit open a gap, the powerful defensive system became ineffective.
“Step.”
Jun Changxiao walked toward the dumbstruck Jia Haojie and Elder Shan.
As he took each step, the Xuanyuan Divine Armor covered his body, the Jade Dragon Heaven-Asking Sword hung at his waist, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Heaven-Dominating Spear gripped in his hand, his long robe fluttering in the wind—he seemed to instantly transform into Zhao Zilong making seven charges through Changban Slope!
“My husband is so handsome!”
The Rose Empress instantly transformed into a little woman infatuated with love.
“Swish!”
Walking to within ten zhang of Jia Haojie and Elder Shan, Jun Changxiao stopped. The Heaven-Dominating Spear planted on the ground, the corner of his mouth slightly lifted, forming that very hard-to-learn devilish smile, “You two, I’m coming in.”
“Swish!”
With those words, a powerful stream of light shot close to the ground, tearing a long trench before viciously bombarding the great hall.
“BOOM!”
The building that had stood for thousands of years collapsed, raising clouds of dust.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
At the same time, the terrifying pressure aura from Sword and Martial Double Saint Great Perfection erupted from Jun Changxiao’s body. Any Vast Continent martial artist within the stronghold who was touched by it felt as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs, their faces instantly contorting to the extreme.
“Sect Master Jun!”
Jia Haojie finally snapped out of his stupefied state, speaking rapidly, “Our Vast Continent will pay! We’ll give spirit stones!”
“Twenty million.”
“We’ll give! We’ll give! We’ll give!”
